Episode Title: The Darkness and the Light
Original Airdate: 11-3-15

So five episodes in and we finally get the full return of Tom Cavanagh as Earth 2’s Harrison Wells, and while it’s likely that he’s not evil he is apparently a huge jerk, to put it in polite terms. The Flash is always a fun show, but this was one of the funniest episodes in recent memory. It went a little dark a couple times and brought in the drama, but it also had some great gags with Barry’s literal blind date as well as everybody having to come to terms with the new Wells.

Episode Title: Love and Basketball
Original Airdate: 11-3-15

Well, we’re back to OTT Liv after she ate the brains of a murdered night security guard, who also coached a junior basketball team. The investigation had a nice build to it, starting out with the abusive father of one of the team members, then focusing on an anonymous donor to the victim’s team, but fell apart toward the end. The reveal felt cobbled together at the last minute. It was random, and not the good kind of random that last week gave us, but random as in “This guy? Really? Couldn’t have thought of a better resolution than this?”

Episode Title: The Fury of the Firestorm
Original Airdate: 10-27-15

And I’m back on track, with the Flash anyway as it is still my favorite of the superhero shows that I’m currently watching. This episode is all about second chances and even though I’ve said this before when discussing season one, I still love how this show reminds me so much about Buffy: The Vampire Slayer in how each episode isn’t just about the villain of the week, but it also manages to have a specific subtext to it that applies to some real life issue. But the main thrust of this episode it twofold: it introduces the new second half of Firestorm who will be a part of Legends of Tomorrow, and it re-introduces the alternate Harrison Wells.

Episode Title: Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blues
Original Airdate: 10-27-15

Got your glass of sweet tea ready? This week Liv and Clive investigate the strangulation of a sweet country girl in the big city. The only suspects are her ex-con ex-boyfriend with anger management issues and her I’ll-give-you-an-advance-if-you-give-me-one boss.

Episode Title: Family of Rogues
Original Airdate: 10-21-15

This episode brings in a few old characters along with a couple new ones that are actually both blasts from the past in more ways than one. It seems like every other time Snart returns he brings another member of his family along with him and this time is no different. And on the other side of things, we finally find out what happened to Iris’s mother. And as a brief side-note, for anyone who may have been expecting this post a lot sooner, I apologize for being late. Life tends to get in the way but I am in the process of catching up on all of my shows as soon as I’m able to.

Episode Title: Real Dead Housewife of Seattle
Original Airdate: 10-20-15

Liv and Clive investigate the murder of a materialistic socialite. Though she was able to take her killer over the balcony with her, he was just a hired hitman, and they want to find who paid his check. They shuffle through the pile of suspects including an angry husband, hateful besties, and the owner of Max Rager himself, Mr. Van du Clark, the victim’s lover.

Episode Title: Flash of Two Worlds
Original Airdate: 10-12-15

The Flash is back once again and partly as I suspected, Jay Garrick is starting to assume the role of substitute Harrison Wells complete with Barry’s lack of trust from being burned once before. This episode is really all about learning to trust again, all of the characters have suffered through some sort of betrayal in one form or another and this time around things are different, but there are enough doubts that instead of embracing the trust from the start, that trust now has to be earned in more ways than one.

Episode Title: Zombie Bro
Original Airdate: 10-13-15

It’s time to dude bro it up as Liv takes on murdered frat boy brains. She chugs beer, pulls pranks, and again has no filter between her brain and her mouth. It seems this week’s vic had a load of potential haters he previously pranked that might have liked to get revenge, but in the end it was a simple case of mistaken identity that was his downfall.

Episode Title: The Man Who Saved Central City
Original Airdate: 10-6-15

The Flash is back, and after a couple episodes of watching Gotham, I’m very glad to have this show back. This is the type of show that knows how to balance the fun of being a superhero who runs really really really fast with the serious dramatic moments of losing your friend, your husband, your father, and it manages to make you care about both of those moments. The season finale introduced the concept of different universes, and this episode gave up a little bit more information without dwelling on the exact nature of what’s going on just yet. There were plenty of great moments in this episode, and a couple of shocking ones, and I can’t wait to see where this season goes.

Episode Title: Grumpy Old Liv
Original Airdate: 10/6/15

Liv Moore is back for more brain-snacking fun and I’ll be taking over the recaps this season, because apparently I can’t get enough of the undead. I really enjoyed the first season, though it was a bit rocky at first, at least from the case-of-the-week angle, but quickly found its stride all around and went out with a bang (literally) by the finale. So I’m very psyched to see what Mr. Thomas has in store for the show this season. Let’s begin…
